As much as I try to keep up with everyone on here I just don't have time to. I am, however, on FB a lot. I wanted to see if anyone may be interested in starting a private group over there? I figured since most of us have been pretty regular on here for the last 9 months it wouldn't be as creepy now. No? What do you guys think?
UPDATE: I'll create a separate thread to let people know how to join the group for those who are interested.
I'd be okay with that. I try to make it over here as best as I can but, Facebook would be easier. My wedding month board from The Knot did this 4 years ago and we still stay in touch as a group.
From what ivr heard, that never goes well. Or maybe I'm just paranoid-- not sure.
My bmb from 4 years ago is still together!
I'm in and second this. I will say there were 2 FB groups from my BMB and some drama went down from that but as long as you are safe, it can work and be a great support.

Yeah my board ended up with two groups also, I think both have had their fair share of drama it overall it's not bad at all!

I actually prefer FB since this is all public and Google-able. We did one for April 13 and it was great. I've made some awesome friendships through it!
Agreed. Pm it to anyone on this bmb who wants to join and I'd feel more comfortable if no lurkers were added...
Right. Like the username should be recognizable.
Okay, will do. The FB group will be set to secret and admin/s (if anyone else would like to help let me know) will be the ones who approve request to join.

Anything else I'm missing?
You rock! I can probably help until I go back to work in January but will defer to anyone that is interested in the full time gig.
Little Slick - fell in love 6/26/12, a forever family 11/26/12, finally home 12/6/12! The moment I really became a mama: mrs-slick.blogspot.com/2013/01/mama.html
I'll be sad to see the O15 mamas leave to go to Facebook but I understand since it sounds like it is easier for people.
I still plan on popping in but I feel like I've become more of a lurker these days instead of being more engaged like before. I need more time for trolling the interwebs these days. Haha.
This would be way easier. I'm on FB a lot more. And I've felt guilty the past couple weeks since I've been missing out on here because of the new babe and the move to a new house.

My bmb from over 5 years ago is still together too, @usernamesarehard. I couldn't tell you their usernames from TD now but I know them all by their real names. One of 4 of them came to my baby shower this time and another just brought me a meal last week. I met and hung out with another one in Germany when our families were living there, enough that she and her family came for Thanksgiving two years ago and stayed the whole weekend at our house.
I felt like we really got to know each other on facebook more than just a forum. There was some drama a little ways in but people filter themselves out.
This may be a dumb question, but will my FB friends be able to see what I post inside the group? Don't need my Great Aunt Elizabeth reading my post on "Guys, can we talk about postpartum sex?"
Nope it's a secret group.
@usernamesarehard I had a similar positive experience with my first BMB, and also with my "cohort" way back from TTGP days, lots of years ago. Those gals are some of my closest friends.
Maybe pm the link? Anyone could click on it if its posted and join....

So I'm mostly a lurker, but I have been around since the beginning. I mostly lurk because it's hard for me to keep up on here and I'm paranoid about how open and google-able everything is but would be interested in the FB group. Just seems like it would be easier for me to follow and participate. Totally understand if ya'll aren't comfortable adding me though. Thoughts?
